Deeper and Deeper: Too MUCH Transparency?

File this under things I probably didn't want to know [ed: take deep breaths, Henry]:
As Bob previously noted, the gentleman in question isn't known for thinking things through, but is that really a good qualification for this job? After all, he's now going to be responsible (at least in part) for much of our nation's health care system. Does the term "conflict of interest" ring any bells?
We've noted before the inherent problem of folks who accept "gifts" from those whose products and services they're responsible for recommending; how bad is it when the gummint's health care czar-to-be accepted, in just two short years, almost a quarter of a million dollars from the folks he's charged with regulating?
Hope and change, indeed.
